Saturday Hike up Butterfly Trail

We spontaneously decided this morning that we would run up the mountain and go for a hike on the butterfly trail. I’ve never been on it but Tommy said he and his friends hiked it a while ago and that there was some wreckage along the way of an airplane crash. It was an F-86 which is what interested me because that’s what my dad used to fly. He would have loved seeing it. You can read up on the crash here (http://www.aircraftarchaeology.com/F-86D%20Sabre%20Dog.htm).

It was a fun hike overall, but we bit off a little more than we could chew as we are not in as good of shape as we used to be! Tomorrow is going to be painful!

I think this is the engine - it looks like a huge steel worm in the middle of the forest
